Hey there, fellow fly fishers Let's dive into some exciting news from around the US that's got our community buzzing.
First off, 2025 is shaping up to be a big year for innovation in fly fishing gear. High-tech materials like advanced composites are making fly rods lighter and stronger than ever. Standout models like the Thomas & Thomas Paradigm and G.Loomis NRX Plus are setting new standards for performance and durability. Plus, sustainability is becoming a major focus, with biodegradable fishing lines and lures, along with plant-based plastics for tackle boxes and tools, reducing the long-term ecological impact of our sport[2][5].
On the travel front, The Fly Shop has released its 2025 North America Travel Magazine, which breaks down a variety of great fly fishing destinations throughout the continent. Whether you're looking for new spots to cast your line or just want to explore some of the best fishing spots in North America, this magazine is a must-have[2].

This event will bring together fly fishers for workshops, presentations, and demonstrations covering everything from fly casting to conservation. It's a must-attend for any serious fly fisher, and the location offers some fantastic fishing opportunities to boot[2][4].
Lastly, check out the 2025 Fly Fishing Show Schedule, which lists consumer-focused fly fishing shows starting in January.
